The new partnership enables device reporting to the Ecofit Connected Platform
COTTAGE GROVE Wis. (May 20, 2021) – Matrix Fitness, the world’s fastest growing commercial fitness brand, today announced an integration partnership with Ecofit Networks, the leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The new partnership enables equipment from connected Matrix fitness equipment to be reported into Ecofit’s asset management system. The cloud-based integration was effective for all existing and new Matrix customers from May 1, 2021 by purchasing and subscribing to the Ecofit Connected service and then simply configuring their machines on site.
“At Matrix, our approach to technology is focused on a robust, open platform,” said Andrew Kolman, senior director of technology and business development at Johnson Health Tech. “Our partnership with Ecofit reinforces our commitment to meet our customers wherever they are. Integration with Ecofit gives commercial institutions access to industry-leading insights and analysis based on Matrix device data. “
The Ecofit Connected platform collects data from connected cardio and weight machines of various brands to create a 360-degree view of device usage. Plant operators can access automated reports, view alerts that help them repair and service equipment more efficiently, identify the perfect mix of equipment on the floor, and make informed purchasing decisions.
“We are excited to partner with Matrix to further simplify asset management by optimizing floor space, increasing service efficiency, maximizing device ROI and improving member satisfaction,” said Dave Johnson, co-founder of Ecofit. “As facilities offer multiple products from different brands, the Ecofit Connected platform can provide a unified and holistic view of their machines through a common user experience.”
Ecofit is compatible with all WiFi-enabled Matrix consoles, including Cardio and Strength. No additional hardware is required.
